I'm looking forward to the days when the movie title will be "The Sound of Go Blue Music" with the RichVonTrapp family singers and such great songs as:-I have 16 wins going on 17-So Long, Farwell Tressel-Kicking Rivals Butts, these are few of my favorite things.AND THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL....-I Have Confidence

(please don't get the wrong impression and think I sit alone in mom's basement and watch this movie over and over by myself. Actually raising a bunch of daughters, I have this movie memorized)

SIC - had a great weekend - my oldest son (11) made a Dwight Clark-esque catch in OT to win the game for his team.

I'll trade you tickets to the Little Caesars bowl for those Cap One tickets - that way we'll both get to see our team play - provided you guys are bowl eligible of course. Perhaps revenge against Toledo is in order.

Remember when you bought that shiny new car/truck and parked it sideways taking up two spaces just to protect it? All your waking moments were filled with dread, worrying that someone might scratch or dent your new four-wheeled idol.

And then, some moronic kid bounces a shopping cart off your gleaming chariot!

You ever have an epiphany? You think about something about something for a while, but you still don’t get it? And then suddenly the light switches “on”, and you see it?

So I didn’t’ pay much attention in Psych, but I do remember the concept of “transference”. I remember the Prof giving the example of a guy who has a bad day at work, but because he’s impotent and powerless to address the real problems that make him unhappy, he “transfers” those feelings to something else, such as kicking the dog or cutting other drivers off in traffic.

And while I’m wondering this a.m. what would possess someone to want to be a troll and go haunt other teams’ websites, it just pops into my head- transference. Tsou goes from the preseason conference favorite, w/ 7 or 8 returning seniors on D, several on the O line, and the preseason (again) Big Ten offensive player of the year at QB, sitting at number one w/ everyone making their reservations to Glendale, to projected to play in the Cap One Bowl. All in one 4 hour humiliating beat down by a team that lost to MSU by 10 points.

What do you do if this happens? Look inward to see if maybe you’re a little too caught up in things? Go to a tosu site & complain about the coaching? TP’s failed potential? The lack of a running game?

Or avoid addressing the issue that your team is a huge disappointment and that the game has passed your coach by and he’s never going to win another national championship and instead go to a Michigan site say something snarky?

Too bad I didn’t pay more attention in class. Maybe there’s a cure for this & I just didn’t listen that day?

osu's fortunes have nothing to do with me posting here. we beat oregon in the bowl game despite being told we're going to lose - still posted here. started the season looking great with high expectations - still posted here. lost a night road game in a very hostile environment - still posted here.

sorry to ruin your attempt at dime store psychology. clearly you didn't pay attention in class as you suggested

being a dissenting voice is much more appealing to me than going to an OSU site and saying the same thing everyone else is. pretty simple.

for what it's worth, my initial comment in this thread wasn't disparaging or combative - it was a play on words that tied in nicely to the movie poster. andy was able to find it funny without "transferring" his anger from this weekend.
